‘Can I book it?’ – Millwall’s Jed Wallace on putting holiday plans on hold while play-off dreams alive

Jed Wallace insists it’s important that Millwall beat the teams above them in the Championship table if they are to stand a chance of making the top six this season.

The Lions make the trip to Kenilworth Road on Saturday to face third placed Luton Town with a win taking them in touching distance of the play-offs.

When asked if it’s just about focusing on yourself, Wallace told talkSPORT2: “Yeah. I always think especially in our position where we are in, in the chasing pack.

“The key now for us is anyone you play above yourself, you have to beat them. We had it last week against Huddersfield.

“We beat Huddersfield, lost to Stoke City, we’re still there or thereabouts. It’s certainly about winning your games but at this point of the season, winning the right games is vitally important.

“It’s wide open, there will be lots of [footballers’] wives around the country thinking ‘can I book the holiday, can I not book the holiday’?

“A lot of lads are trying to get into that top six, with the missus in their ear saying ‘can I book it, can I book it?’

“You’re thinking ‘give us a chance’. We’re in that boat now. Especially these days if you haven’t got a 24-hour cancellation policy you’re doomed these days.”
